Truth My Lie
I went to sleep and begun to dream
Where from a sky scraping building, I'm falling down
Then the dream switches over to where my friends are gathered around
laughing as I drown
As I scream for help,
cards of my life were dealt
And then I just gave in
The urge to die, knowing I'm my only friend
I awake to avoid my death
Got a drink, went back to bed refreshed
I fall back into another dream
Where everyone took everything
Including another image of self
linked my previous dream to what my conscience felt
There I was dreaming
dreaming a meaning
I've blamed associates that I once titled friends for the damage and scars
The image of self was the informative of me being my worst enemy by far
So how could it have been
that I was betrayed by the looks of me and also a friend
That self image was teaching
When I let ones that I think are my friends take from me, I rob myself. I can't help the world I am only human being
Reality, the world I attend
is pretend
Moral of this tale
Own my faults in order to prevail
Now I know the intervention this dream had with me, I know why
This dream was to truth my lie
